Verdicts

Make API + MCP

Hosted MCP server with OAuth, and scenario run tools on the free plan. No published OpenAPI file and no official SDK.

Cooper (Mandl)

Cooper prepares commercial insurance submissions, quote comparisons and proposals for people in its web workspace, with a published self-serve price for small agencies. It has no API, MCP server or webhooks for an outside agent, and its SOC 2 and HIPAA claims come with no report and apply only to full Cooper.

Before you call either

Make API + MCP

  1. Find the organisation's zone first. It may be on make.com or make.celonis.com
  2. Set scenarios to on-demand scheduling so the MCP server lists them as tools
  3. Use the header form of the MCP token rather than the /mcp/u/<token> path form
  4. On a 429, wait a full minute. The limit resets per minute and no Retry-After is sent
  5. Check the code field on errors. IM002 means the token lacks rights, not that the resource is missing

Cooper (Mandl)

  1. Don't plan to call Cooper from another agent. It's operated by people in its web workspace
  2. If a user's agency uses Cooper, hand them the account documents to forward to Cooper themselves
  3. Don't send client insurance data or PHI to Cooper without the agency's signed agreement and, for PHI, a business associate agreement
